Good Intentions

…Is the deepest. Yes, Sherryl Crow sang the song. No, she was not the first. Surprising, I know.

Anyway. Today was Contracts and Torts. Let’s begin.

Prof Contracts is a new guy, and I do believe I like him. He does the Socractic method somewhat, but he’s not an asshole about it; he himself said that he’s not out to prove he knows more than we do about Contracts, because he does, in fact. Hopefully, as he said. He’s also allowing us to bring in pretty much anything on the exam, so that’s nice too.

Prof Torts reminds me of my roommate’s dad plus fifteen years. Somewhat softspoken, but he has a sense of humor. Also uses the Socratic method.  Should be a fairly good class too.

Wednesday is Civ Pro. That will be interesting. Tomorrow is the same schedule as today. I’ll be sure to report back after Wednesday.

Phew, that was a bit of a break.

So, here I am, with only 8 more days of work left and then the real fun begins: the agonizing countdown to orientation and the first day of class. I’ve actually finally received my schedule from UH, so that’s somewhat comforting. Except comforting is the wrong word; really what I mean is terrifying. But in a giddy, schoolchild kind of way.

You know, like back in elementary school when you’d get your teacher assignment and you’d scan the room looking for someone you know but then that slow-dawning horror of realization crosses your mind like a dusky shadow, that no, you don’t know anyone in this class and you never will, no, you will be the pariah, the outcast, eating your peanut butter and jelly sandwich alone every single solitary day of elementary school, alone, alone, all alone.

Or maybe it was just me? Ha.

Anyway, the sched is fairly ok. I start at 9:00 MTTh, 9:30 on Friday, and 10:30 on Wednesday. Not too shabby. Torts, Contracts, Legal Research, and Procedure. Fun stuff, right?

Right.

I was looking at the orientation schedule for UH, and it’s two days long. Not so bad, right? Well, for the first day’s schedule, it goes from 8am til around 4pm…ALL IN ONE ROOM. No other room is listed. I hope we don’t have to sit on our asses for 8 hours in the auditorium. That would suck a skosh.

Only 8 more workdays left, and it seems my tasks are drying up. That’s a good sign, right? Well, not so good for boredom. On the plus side, blogging at work is fun!
